Star Goddess / Wu Dragon
Stored portals can turn nearby spaces wild in Portal Lock mode.
When to play
Only check bet levels with Portal Lock. Portals that are spread across reels are more valuable.
- Reels 1–3
- 3+ portals
Better if they make a line
- Reels 1–4
- 5+ portals
Better if they make a line
When to stop
Recheck after the portals turn wild and clear. Leave below the listed counts.
How it plays
In Portal Lock mode, frames stay on the reels. Fireballs can drop onto the screen and turn nearby spaces wild. When one hits inside a frame, all stored frames also turn wild.
A hit turns its neighbors wild in a three-by-three area. Frames spread through the middle of the screen can cover more spaces than a tight group in a corner. The used frames clear after their trigger.
Check by cycling through the portal lock bet levels (not the regular levels).
If there’s a bet level with zero portals, that means someone hit the feature then left. The game automatically hides other portals when that happens. You’ll want to do a $1 test spin. After your spin, check the levels again.
Usually you’ll hit within 20 spins. Often sooner.
Really like this game. One of my favourites.

Notes & warnings
- Frames on the middle rows of reels 2 and 3 give the fireballs more room to expand.
- Watch out for setups with portals only on the first column. Those are less valuable
What makes it AP
Portals already in place can create more wild coverage on the next trigger.
